11Red Velvet Cupcakes Play Pivotal Role in FOX’s Chicago Code
By cupcakeSerenity on March 22nd, 2011
Are you watching FOX’s new cop drama, The Chicago Code? You  should be. The show is a knockout. Well-written, well-executed, and a  star-studded cast. Australian dreamboat Jason Clarke and the gorgeous  and uber-talented Chicago-born Jennifer Beals lead the way with stellar  backing from critically acclaimed Delroy Lindo and up-and-coming Friday Night Lights standout Matt Lauria.
But what you really want to hear about is the cupcakes, right? Adam Arkin (The West Wing, Life, Chicago Hope)  joined the series last night as a big and bad FBI hot shot, bent on  pushing our lovely Jennifer Beals around. At first, things didn’t look  good for the Chicago Superintendant of Police, but then she brought in a  platter of red velvet cupcakes. And as the FBI agent and the Super  munched on some cupcakes, they came to a compromise that moved watchers  to tears. Then they licked their fingers. The whole thing was easily  believable.
According to one of the show’s writers, the actors had to eat those  cupcakes through six takes of the scene. Oh! Acting is such a rough gig!  I’m hoping the show sets a precident. Crime can be fought, problems can  be solved, corruption can be conquered, if we would just sit down  together and have some cupcakes.
